I didn't have a spring compressor so I screwed together several stainless steel screw type hose clamps (to make a long one ... approx 10-12 ins long ... made 3 of these extra length clamps) approx 120 deg apart using the 3 clamps (i.e. equally spaced around the coil diameter). These were inserted around the coils after I had jacked up the lower control arm. The vehicle weight allows the jack to compress the spring. Then install the 3 hose clamps. You only need to snug up the screw to take up the slack in the clamps (you're not compressing the spring any further with the clamps). Now you simply remove the strut and disassemble it (with the spring held in this compressed state) and install the new bumper and bellows. Then reassemble and install in vehicle. Once again use the jack (rolling floor jack preferably) on the lower control arm to compress the spring enough to relieve the load on the 3 clamps and unscrew them and remove. Now you lower the jack (and control arm) and ... voila! .... the job is finished.Read full review
